Y., A CORPORATION OF NEW YORK STITGHLESS GARTER CLASP Application filedApril 6,

Our invention relates to improvements in hosiery'engaging claspsforgarters and it is our object to produce a clasp for engaging the hosieryin which the various parts are held together without sewing orstitching.

' It is well known that where the web at the clasp is sewed-or stitchedthe fabric of the web is weakened and the garter is easily torn at theline of stitching and rendered useless. By the use of our invention thisdifficulty is entirely eliminated.

In the drawing Fig. 1 is a face view of our improved garter claspstructure; Fig. 2 a longitudinal sectional view of the structure of Fig.1; Fig. 3 a View of the slide used in our garter; Fig. 4 a view of theloop used in our garter; Fig. 5 a view of a button plate used in oneform of our garter; Fig. 6 a view of the tipped web used in our garter;Fig. 7 a View of a slide and loop mechanically hinged together which maybe used in our garter; Fig. 8 a face view of a garter clasp embodying amodified form of button plate;

and Fig. 9 a longitudinal, sectional View of the structure of Fig. 8. 1

The web 1 has the rigid tip 2 secured to one end thereof.

The slide 3 has the slots 4 and 5 and the bar 6 between them.

The loop 7 has the top bar 8.

The button plate 9 shown in Fig. 5 has the slots 10 and 11 and thebutton 12 mounted thereon.

The button plate 9 shown in Figs. 8 and 9 has the slot 10 at one end andthe button 12 at the other end.

In assembling the garter clasp shown in Figs. 1 and 2 the tipped end 2of the web 1 is threaded through the slot 4 in the slide 3 from rear tofront, then the bar 8 of the loop 7 is slipped on the web; the web thenpasses through the slot 5 in the slide 3 from front to rear. Itthen'drops to form a loop and is threaded through the slot 10 in thebutton plate 9 from front to rear, then through the slot 11 in thebutton plate from rear to front and carried around the button plate 9and up and again through the slot 4 in the slide 3 from rear to frontafter which the 50 tipped end 2 is threaded through the slot 5 1932.Serial No. 603,568.

way the loop 7 is held to the slide 3 by the web 1 and the tipped end 2of the web is held in position between the reaches13 and 14 of the web 1so that it cannotbe'accidentally withdrawn. In this way we are enabledto assemble the garter clasp without the use of any stitching and avoidthe weaknesses in- "cident tothe use of sewing.

a front and finally again through the 'slot 5 in the slide 3 from frontto rear, leaving the tipped end 2lying in the folds of Web.

It will be noted that so far as the threading of the web on the slide 3is concerned" the method isthe same in both forms of our invention, andthat the button plate 9 0119 is p secured to the clasp by a long loop ofweb in the case of thebutton plate 9'or a short loop in the case of thebutton plate 9;

. If desired the loop 7' may be mechanically hinged to the slide 3 asshown in Fig. 7 without departing from our invention and the structureof Fig. 7 threaded in the manner herein. describedso that no stitchingis required to hold theparts together.

. In use the hosiery is placed over the button; and the loo-p slippedthereover in the usual manner.'

IWe claim v 1. In a stitchless garter clasp the combinationof a slideprovided with two slots, a"I'-:
